Introducing Horse and Buggy, the hilarious new characters from Theodor Seuss Geisel Medalist Ethan Long!
Horse and Buggy are best friends, but they don't always see eye to eye. When Buggy sees Horse dancing, he asks, "What are you doing?" "I am dancing," Horse replies. "I am the best dancer. I have the best dances!" "You are not dancing. You are just moving around." Can Horse convince the reluctant Buggy to lighten up and join in?
YES! In this side-splitting story about friendship, Horse and Buggy learn that doing something together makes it twice as fun.

PreS-Gr 1—Not even a lack of music or a dubious friend can dampen Horse's drive to dance. Buggy's skeptical, "What are you doing?" and "I do not hear any music" does not deter Horse. He just gleefully bends, grooves, and kicks, proclaiming, "I am dancing. I am the best dancer. I have the best dances. Dance with me!" Buggy finally busts a move, Horse finds a boom box, and just as they are really "getting down," Horse decides to take a much needed break. VERDICT With Long's characteristic slapstick humor and simple, expressive characters, this newest pairing is pitch-perfect for his audience...no dance beat required.—Jenna Boles, Greene County Public Library, Beavercreek, OH
